Cosmetic Dentist in Scottsdale Now Offering Advanced Dental Scanning
Scottsdale, AZ — Dr. Jonathan Coombs and the Scottsdale Smile Center for general, restorative, and cosmetic dentistry in Scottsdale have announced the addition of a new cone beam device for dental scanning and precise imaging. Dr. Coombs says the new technology offers several benefits to patient comfort and more accurate planning for dental implants and other procedures.
As a Scottsdale cosmetic dentist, Dr. Coombs will be introducing the cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) scanner to his patient services to help increase comfort and efficiency during dental treatment. With a radiation dose one hundred times lower than regular CT scanners, the new cone beam technology offers patients safer and faster image-taking. Dr. Coombs says he is excited about the new device and hopes it helps promote the most positive dental experience possible for patients at his practice.
Through the use of a cone shaped X-ray beam, Dr. Coombs says the imaging device offers a smaller size machine, lower radiation dosages, and a quicker procedure. Most commonly used for diagnostic purposes, he says he hopes to use the cone beam CT scan for dental implants in Phoenix, helping him achieve the most accurate placement and positioning possible. By utilizing X-ray technology, the cone beam produces clear, detailed images of bone, muscle, and blood vessels to help dentists diagnose patient health concerns and plan for more precise implantation and treatment approaches.
Dr. Coombs says he hopes the cone beam device alleviates patient concerns about uncomfortable X-ray imaging and radiation, all while improving his ability to treat his patients with the utmost care. He adds that through the advancement of state-of-the-art technology like the cone beam, dentists will ultimately be able to provide the highest quality results and more satisfactory patient outcomes.

New Dental Restoration Technology Available from Phoenix Cosmetic Dentist
Dr. Jonathan Coombs and his Phoenix cosmetic dentistry practice have announced they are now offering the CEREC® MC XL dental milling device from Sirona. Dr. Coombs says the advanced dental technology is designed to fabricate ceramic and porcelain restorations such as crowns, bridges, and porcelain veneers in Phoenix while providing patients with fewer injections and drilling visits.
As a cosmetic dentist in Phoenix, Dr. Jonathan Coombs provides services in a wide range of procedures including porcelain veneers, Invisalign®, and dental restorations. Dr. Coombs recently announced the latest addition to his repertoire of innovative technology: the CEREC® MC XL, a manufacturing device that fabricates crowns, fillings, and other restorative dentistry procedures in-office to minimize drilling and dental visits. He says offering the new procedure allows him to produce accurate dental restorations during a patient’s visit that can help enhance comfort and satisfaction.
Developed by Sirona, a global dental equipment company, the CEREC® MC XL device offers quick production of the full-contour crowns and bridges needed to correct chipped and missing teeth through the use of precise computer mapping software. Because the restorations are created while patients are in the office, Dr. Coombs says the entire process is simplified and expedited, meaning fewer injections, reduced dental visits, and less drilling.
Dr. Coombs says he is excited about the new technology’s capability to offer his patients a more positive dental experience and a more comfortable way of enjoying the benefits of a healthy, beautiful smile. He also adds that through new instruments such as the CEREC® MC XL, he hopes to continue pursuing the latest in dental technology and further improve the level of patient care available at his practice.

The attention and craftsmanship on my chipped tooth…. just remarkable. I was worried that it would have to wait until after the holidays, but there he was, Dr. Chiapptti and as usual with a big smile. As a matter of fact, what makes you want to go see these dental experts is that everyone, from reception in the front to billing,to the assistants in the back all taking to heart their name, THE SMILE CENTER!! It really encourages you and I look forward to going. Now, who else can say that about going to see their dentist?

After being told I would have to wait they were able to get me in the week before Christmas like I had asked for. I travel quite a lot and need to know a date. This worked perfect. I was’nt expecting a blood pressure test, but as usual Dr. Don is up on all the latest whether its equipment or tests. I have been going to the Smile Center for over twenty years and it is always a pleasurable and professional experience.

We have been patients of Dr Chiappetti for about 17 years and find he and his work and the work of his staff to be excellent in all respects. His is the best dental firm we have encountered in our respectively 76 and 95 years.
